General Product & Science

What are EOR strips

EOR strips are a patent-pending horse hydration and performance support product that deliver electrolytes and key nutrients through the gums.

These oral film strips are designed to dissolve quickly in the mouth, allowing for direct absorption through the gums (oral mucosa). This fast-track delivery method helps ensure rapid uptake of hydration-supporting nutrients when your horse needs them most—whether hauling, training, competing, or recovering.

Unlike traditional horse electrolyte supplements that must be digested, EOR strips offer on-demand, targeted support—making them an innovative option in the world of horse performance products, recovery aids, and hydration for horses.

Who uses EOR strips?

EOR strips are used by a wide range of horse owners and professionals—from elite equine athletes to everyday companions.

Whether you're a professional trainer, a competitive rider, a veterinarian, or someone who simply wants the best for their horse, EOR strips offer a convenient and effective way to support horse hydration, performance, and recovery.

We see EOR strips used by:

  • Competitive riders of all disciplines
  • Veterinarians and equine health practitioners
  • Trainers and barn managers looking for tools that are easy to integrate into daily routines
  • Weekend warriors and recreational riders who want their horses to feel and perform their best

This horse performance product is ideal for situations where hydration and recovery support is critical—such as hauling, training, competing, weather changes, or vet visits.

What is delivered in an EOR strip?

How do you know EOR works?

EOR strips have been tested in our clinic and real-world equine environments. They are supported by feedback from veterinarians, professional riders, and horse owners. In a recent pilot study, horses given EOR strips were observed to drink more water compared to control groups—a promising indicator of improved hydration.

Additionally, anecdotal reports from a wide range of disciplines describe noticeable changes in drinking behavior, post-performance recovery, and ease of use. This growing body of data is helping position EOR as a valuable tool in any horse’s performance and hydration routine.

Application & Handling

How do I apply EOR strips?

EOR strips are designed to dissolve on your horse’s gums for rapid absorption. Simply peel open the packet, warm or wet the strip for flexibility if needed, and place it directly on the upper or lower gums. The strip will dissolve over 10–20 minutes.

For a more detailed step-by-step explanations, including videos for different application methods, visit the application page.

What if my horse refuses to allow me to apply EOR strips?

Not every horse loves something new right away. If your horse is sensitive to direct gum application, we recommend easing them in with a gentle approach and patience. You can also try our bit wrap delivery method, which allows your horse to receive EOR benefits without direct handling of the gums.

What is the bit wrap delivery method?

The bit wrap method is a great alternative for horses that aren’t fans of direct application to the gums. Simply wet the EOR strip to help it stick to itself, then wrap it securely around the mouthpiece of your horse’s bit before bridling. The strip dissolves and is absorbed through the mucous membranes—still an effective method for hydration and recovery support.

For a video demonstration visit the application page.

What if the strip breaks during application?

If a strip cracks or breaks while applying it can still be used! Just press the pieces gently onto the gums.

You can increase the pliability of a strip with warmth. Some suggestions for this include setting the packet in the sun or on your dashboard, submerging the sealed packet in warm liquid, or placing near a heat source.

If you have a continuous issue with strips being brittle please reach out to our customer service team here.

Equine Health & Performance

What benefits might the strip provide?

Whether you're trailering, training, competing, or managing stressful conditions, EOR strips offer a simple, convenient way to support and encourage equine hydration.

Hydration plays an important role in:

  • Overall health
  • Prevention of complications from dehydration
  • Post workout recovery
  • Performance

Customer feedback and recent studies show that horses using EOR strips often increase their water intake shortly after application.

When should I use EOR strips?

Use EOR strips any time your horse is experiencing stress, increased activity, or changes in routine. They’re ideal:

  • Before, during, or after training or competition
  • While hauling or recovering from travel
  • During hot weather or cold snaps that reduce water intake
  • After vet visits or medical stressors

Can EOR strips replace my horse's regulate electrolyte supplement?

EOR strips are not intended to replace your horse’s regular electrolyte supplement. Instead, they’re designed to complement your existing routine—offering a quick, easily absorbed dose when your horse needs a hydration or performance boost.

Think of them as a targeted tool for horse hydration and recovery, especially useful when your horse might not eat or drink as usual.

Will EOR prevent colic?

While EOR strips are not a treatment or preventative for colic, hydration plays a critical role in overall health. By encouraging horses to drink more water and supplying key electrolytes, EOR strips may support healthy hydration levels, which in turn can help reduce colic risk. Always consult your veterinarian if you suspect colic.

Are EOR strips suitable for horses with ulcers or gastric sensitivities?

EOR strips bypass the digestive system and are absorbed through the mucous membranes in the gums. This delivery method should avoid irritating the stomach. That means horses with ulcers or sensitive GI tracts can receive hydration and energy support without risk of aggravation—making EOR a great option for ulcer-prone horses.

I give my horse Lasix, can I use EOR?

Absolutely. Horses on Lasix (furosemide) may experience increased fluid and electrolyte loss. EOR strips offer an easy, fast-absorbing way to replenish hydration after Lasix use.

Many competitive barrel racers use the bit application method right before their run. The feedback has been that the horse is ready to drink and re-hydrate shortly after.

If you have questions about your individual routine you can always inquire here for a usage consult.

Always consult your veterinarian with questions or concerns when it comes to combining lasix with supplements.

Is EOR ok for metabolic horses (Insulin resistance, cushings, PSSM etc.)

As a general rule, No.

EOR strips contain small, controlled amounts of glucose which may or may not affect your metabolic horse.

Because each horse's individual case is different we cannot conclusively say it is safe for those that are sensitive to sugar.

As with any supplement, we recommend discussing with your veterinarian if your horse has metabolic concerns.

Safety & Compliance

Are EOR strips allowed under competition rules?

Competition regulations can vary depending on your discipline and governing body. We always recommend checking with your association’s rules before use in competition.

EOR contains no controlled substances and would best fit in the electrolyte category.

Are EOR strips performance-enhancing?

EOR strips are not a performance-enhancing drug. They support your horse's natural performance and recovery by helping with hydration and delivering small amounts of glucose, B12, and electrolytes through rapid oral absorption. They do not contain stimulants or substances on banned lists.

What regulatory bodies have approved the use of EOR strips?

EOR strips are made in a facility that follows strict quality and manufacturing standards. Because they are not classified as a drug, they are not “approved” by organizations like the FDA or USEF. However, the ingredients used are widely accepted in equine nutrition and regularly used in horse care.

What if my dog or child eats it?

Store strips in a safe place away from kids and animals. You can find all active ingredients in your kitchen cabinet. EOR strips are formulated for horses, but the small amount of ingredients in one strip are not toxic to dogs or humans. If your child or pet accidentally eats one, keep an eye out for any unusual symptoms and contact your vet or doctor if you have concerns.
